He was a monk, but like Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, he did not eat and pray to the Buddha in the temple, and he was not willing to be lonely, so he had to do a big cause. He was the initiator of the Battle of Jingkang, and he made the contribution of the Khan Horse to the throne of Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Chengzu, and the first merit of the Battle of Jingnan. So, what was his final outcome? Today, let's explore this little-known history and see the final outcome of the black-robed prime minister.
A monk who is not willing to be lonely
He was Yao Guangxiao, the black-robed prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, who was born in suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and his family had been practicing medicine for generations, and when he was 14 years old, he did not know what the reason was, and he actually chose to become a monk. Yao Guangxiao was not honest as a monk, and he was also very interested in Confucianism and Taoist scholarship, especially the yin and yang techniques. In this way, Yao Guangxiao, a monk, became a master of Confucianism and Taoism. He was so desperate that, according to his commotion, he was waiting for an opportunity to get ahead.
After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he ordered the monks to take the exam in the Ceremonial Department, and Yao Guangxiao, who was not willing to be lonely, also took the exam, but he was not awarded the title of monk, only given the monk's clothes. Later, Yao Guangxiao saw the timing and ran to Beiping with Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and became Zhu Di's adviser.
The Battle of Jing
Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao was about to cut down the domain, and Yao Guangxiao, believing that the opportunity had come, urged Zhu Di to raise an army, and recruited talents for Zhu Di, which strengthened the determination of Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and finally under the efforts of Yao Guangxiao, zhu Di, the King of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingnan in the name of "Qing Junfang".
After the Yan king Zhu Di raised an army, although he fought several victorious battles, on the whole Zhu Di was still in a weak position, especially the Yan king's army was stopped under the city of Jinan, suffered a crisis, and the situation was very critical for a while, at this time Yao Guangxiao suggested that Zhu Di first return to Beiping to repair, and then directly pound the Yellow Dragon. Zhu Di followed his advice and directly attacked the capital City of Nanjing, hitting Emperor Jianwen with no measure, and finally the city was destroyed, and Zhu Di successfully ascended to the throne.
The Prime Minister in Black
After Zhu Di became emperor, he did not forget Yao Guangxiao, the first meritorious servant of the Battle of Jingnan, and gave him a high-ranking official, Feng Lu, becoming a black-clad prime minister above ten thousand people under one person. Zhu Di also asked him to be vulgar, and even gave him a mansion and a beautiful woman, but he refused, he still lived in the temple, wore court clothes during the day, participated in major state affairs, returned to the monastery at night, changed into monk clothes, and continued to be his own monk.
At this time, Yao Guangxiaozhen can be said to have reached the peak of his life, and later when he went to Suhu Lake to relieve the disaster, he was considered to be returning to his hometown, but in exchange for not joy, but scolding, his sister closed the door to him, and his friends scolded him even more. All this made Yao Guangxiao feel sad. Wan Wan did not expect that he had done such a big thing, but in the end he ended up with a rebellious fate, and he did not even have the opportunity to show it.
This is retribution, originally Zhu Yuanzhang had a hard time establishing a great dynasty, the people were recuperating, living in peace, but did not expect that there would be a few days of stable life, just at the instigation of Yao Guangxiao, the monk, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingnan, which was actually nothing more than a power struggle within the old Zhu family, but in the end it was the people of the world who suffered, and too many people died, so that the people of the world were very disgusted with Yao Guangxiao, who did not recite the scriptures well.
epilogue
In his later years, Yao Guangxiao was still relatively miserable, living alone in the temple, and finally in the sixteenth year of Yongle, he died of illness in loneliness. After his death, Zhu Di gave him a very high honor and personally wrote a Shinto inscription for him. Later, the crown prince Zhu Gaozi succeeded to the throne, and Yao Guangxiao entered the Ming Ancestral Temple as a courtier, becoming the first and only person in the Ming Dynasty.
After the death of Yao Guangxiao, the black-robed prime minister, it was really a very beautiful scenery, but what was the use? He was a monk who did not recite the scriptures well, and had to encourage people to fight, and in the end, although he won, it was not beneficial to the country and the people, but instead he died a bunch of people, and he was always a sinner of history, leaving a stink for thousands of years. Why is he so bitter, he doesn't want money, he doesn't want women, what is he trying to do, is it to prove that he is very powerful? Guys, what do you think?
